If you have land anywhere in Nigeria — or your family does — do this: → Find out if a C of O exists. Check with the state Land Registry. → If no C of O — begin the perfection process with a property lawyer. Now. → If you are buying land — never pay without Governor’s Consent and registration in your name. → If family land has never been registered — it is vulnerable. Every day it remains unregistered, it is vulnerable. The family that registers first usually wins. Do not let that family be someone else. Four years. ₦4.2 million in legal fees. One medical diagnosis. Eight months of two brothers not speaking. That is what it costs to recover what should never have been taken. But it was recoverable — because Mrs. Adeyemi knew where to look, and because there was enough paper trail to prove the fraud. Some families are not that fortunate. Some families lose. Permanently. Because the fraudster perfected the title before they did — and there was no fraud to prove. Just a gap in the paperwork. Your land should not depend on luck. At Legalnaija, we believe that access to legal knowledge is national infrastructure. Not knowing the Land Use Act should not cost a family their inheritance. Not knowing what “perfecting title” means should not undo 32 years of a teacher’s savings. Find a property lawyer you trust. Register what your family owns. Understand the paper before you sign it. The law protects what is documented. Always. — https://t.co/gPFcVYWY4B Retweet if someone in your family has land that has never been formally registered. #LegalNaija | #PropertyLaw | #LandRights | #LandUseAct | #AccessToJustice
